If your life

lets you all the way down

turns you all the way around

think about me



late at night

you don't see your way through

nothin's breakin for you

think about me



cause I can stop the world from hurting

I can hold the waters back

I can take away your yearning

when your life is lookin black to you

there's only me and you



and when will you laugh

there must be an end somewhere

must be an answer there

baby it's me



you're caught in the past

you fears are falling on you

don't you see me here with you

baby it's me



and I can stop the world from hurting

I can hold the waters back

I can take away your yearning

when your life is lookin black to you

there's only me and you



me and you

there's only me and you

i'll stop the world

i'll hold you up

i'll stop the world

i'll make it alright

i'll give you my love

i'll stop the world

we're gonna make it through the night

i'll stop the world

i'll stop the world



it's you and me

oh - ho stop the world

i'll stop the world



baby I can stop the world from hurting

I can hold the waters back

I can take away your yearning

when your life is lookin black to you
